Hair Transplant for the Crown vs Hairline: Which Area Should You Treat First?

Dark hair against lighter skin may make scalp visibility more obvious.

A patient with low contrast may perceive the same density differently.

This is another reason why graft numbers alone cannot predict the visual result.

Hair Thickness Matters Too

A graft containing thicker hair can provide different visual coverage from a graft containing very fine hair.

During consultation, the doctor may consider:

Hair calibre

Follicular-unit composition

Miniaturization

Donor characteristics

The treatment plan should reflect the quality of the available donor hair.
